Weak notice on Ka this AM. WTF?

[RadarKid]

Very nice, but it should also have if you don’t speed there is no risk.

Or: Dont be like RadarKid, think befor you Lock.

Radar= TrueLock
Kid= Risk

funny except contrary to my username, I'm not a "kid" anymore as much as I'd like to be. and as much as the "no speed = no risk" is true, so is the "no truelock = no risk"

I thought plenty about my lockout locations and also followed directions to "cut down" on the lockout radius both by shutting down and repowering after a mile of driving, and locking out at the lowest signal from the false. If unfortunately still locked out real LEO's almost 1/2 mile from the lockout point.
Thanks, but no thanks....and to think of adding "AutoLearn" as another added possible fault....Thanks but no thanks......I can see it now locking out areas with no falses but a LEO passed in the same location more than once.

I'll stick with the "give me the alerts when they're strong enough and I'll decide if I need to worry...because TrueLock has proven to put me at a disadvantage from those detectors that DONT have it"

I know, just playing like you kid.

And your absolutely correct, for a person that is in a "High Risk" scenario, has no tolerance for risk, or the desire for adjusting there driving habits according to area to reduce the amount of falses, or take the time to know everything about radar and what there local use they shouldn’t use TrueLock or any tricks. (I called it a "High Risk" area for a reason)
The only way to look at it would be a "High Risk" area, and to not lock everything out for that person.
But im wiling to bet after using the 9500I and this sight for a good 6 months you will have a better understanding of how Radar works and you may lock out a few logical places that would be fine using the maximum 1/2mi lock out radius.

There are still no examples of Truelock causing someone a ticket. Truelock works. Period. As with any false alert suppression, risk is intentionally added, but the truth is that Truelock has proven itself to be less risky than originally thought.

You obviously did a poor job of this, since your lockout radius appears to have been maxxed out.

We get it. You're not going to use it. GOOD! No one should use any feature they don't understand or know how to use. Hundreds of thousands of miles have been logged by very experienced members of this board with zero problems caused by Truelock, yet you with your obvious lack of radar knowledge and experience are sure you've seen a problem. Sorry, I don't buy it. You claim to be a knowlegeable RD user by saying you've owned an 8500, X50 and now a 9500i, yet posts such as these prove otherwise:

This AM on my normal commute to work, I encountered 2 LEO's. One was a State Trooper pulled to the side shooting C/O Ka on the opposite side of the highway facing traffic on my side. The Ka warning didnt seem to be too much before I reached him and I was kind of disappointed. But 5 minutes later as I exited the highway, I came down the ramp and up the hill a bit there was a town cop pulled over at a 90degree angle from the road which is a fairly slight incline from where you come off the highway. He was well within eyesight on Corys Lane long before I received an alert. As I passed it seemed as though he was shooting C/O Ka straight across the road as opposed to down the road where we were exiting the highway. Is this why I didnt have much warning? You can see from the two locations that it didnt give much prior warning (approx 1000 ft)

Any experienced RD user would not have posts like this one.

I'll stick with the "give me the alerts when they're strong enough and I'll decide if I need to worry...because TrueLock has proven to put me at a disadvantage from those detectors that DONT have it"

Again, we get it! You don't like Truelock! Your one week of inexperienced use shows the exact opposite of what all of the experienced users on this board report. Don't use any feature you don't understand.

I'm tired of explaining how you're full of $hit in your responses, and although I have legit answers for each of these recent replies......you're not worth it anymore. I would hand deliver proof of a ticket and you still would be too full of yourself to ever admit you're wrong. I've done my best to ignore you for quite a while, yet you just keep trying to provoke me. Ignore my posts, and I'll ignore yours..seems simple. Or perhaps you need to be banned for a while to get the point across? Hopefully this will get the message across fanboi

Hey RK-

Did you ever get those black suction cups from Cobra? I'd like to see what a difference it made.

yup. I'll post a picture later today - feel free to just email them from the cobra sight and request them. they sent me two for free.

Your responses are all bogus. The truth is that you don't know how Truelock works and lack the experience to determine if Truelock failed or not. That's a fact. If Truelock fails me, I will post a video proving it, because I have the knowlege necessary to do so, assuming there are no looming court procedings of course.

I would hand deliver proof of a ticket and you still would be too full of yourself to ever admit you're wrong.

Again, what does my opinion of me have to do with any of this? Well, since you've said over and over again that you will not be using Truelock anymore, any ticket you get will have nothing to do with Truelock, now will it?

I've done my best to ignore you for quite a while, yet you just keep trying to provoke me. Ignore my posts, and I'll ignore yours..seems simple.

I will not allow a newbie to post misinformation without knowledge, without retort. Simple as that. The fact is that you were alerted both times by your 9500i, so even you admit that Truelock worked as designed. IT ALERTED YOU, BOTH FREAKIN' TIMES!

Or perhaps you need to be banned for a while to get the point across?

Now, you've promoted yourself to moderator?

Hopefully this will get the message across fanboi

What point? You make no valid points about Truelock.

Unlike you I'm mature enough to know when to just ignore an idiot like yourself. Consider yourself muted from here on out.

Did you just post that and call yourself mature at the same time?

[Veri]

Heh...

I continue to be amazed at how much time and effort people spend in waving their e-penises around on this forum. "Fanboy" this, "zombie" that. Who the f*ck cares? I don't care. Most of the innocent bystanders that marvel at the childishness don't care. You like what you like based on whatever reason you have. So does the other person. Period, end of story.

TrueLock, based on my understanding of how it functions, could theoretically screw a user over.

The Valentine's rear antenna is, for some of our environments (read: lots of stuff for reflections) and purposes, needless. Better on paper than in practice.

The x50's frequency display is a triviality to some people. The silver is a "steal me!" color. I like it.

They're all great detectors. Use what makes you happiest. If someone else doesn't agree, so f*cking what? Stop bickering like a couple of 14 year old schoolgirls over the football team's quarterback.
